To sell or not to sell Saiga...

I need some advice from the collective mind. I got a converted Saiga 7.62x39 for a steal, $419, several months ago and could probably sell it for $500 now, if not a little more. Recently I sold some stuff on e-bay and addiction being what it is I bought a VZ2008. For various reasons I like the VZ better than the Saiga. These are the only two semi-auto rifles in my arsenal. Additionally, I do reload but it is cheaper to buy 7.62 than to make my own (No, I donít cast yet but will soon).

Now the question is this should IÖ.

1. Sell the Saiga and get a Mini 14. The logic being that I can reload .223 pretty cheaply but also .223 would be a better round for my very dense urban environment. CDNN has a Mini for about $570.

2. Sell the Saiga and then build up my cache of food, water and medical supplies. I donít see a long term scenario and would only prepare for no more than 3 months.

3. Need help with a Keep the Saiga as a back-up and stock up on more cheap ammo.

I'd get more supplies personally, especially if you don't have at least a few months worth. You look to be pretty well set for firearms.

Plant a garden.

Pen some hogs.

Personally I would never sell a Saiga to buy a Mini 14. Then again I'm a Saiga and overall AK fan and I've never liked Mini 14s. If you want .223/5.56, buy an AR for not much more. Or for an alternative a Saiga .223 or Kel Tec SU16.

Lenny liked to pet rabbits. You could buy a rabbit.

4 of your 6 rifles are semi autos....:confused:

See if you can trade straight up for a Saiga in .223 or 5.45.
